Did you know millions of Americans are missing one or more teeth? If you’re one of them, you understand the struggle of eating your favorite foods, speaking properly, and smiling confidently.
The good news is that dental implants are a viable tooth replacement option for many people. As long as your oral health is good and you have sufficient jawbone density, we can place titanium implants to replace your tooth’s root and add a dental crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile.
Unfortunately, not everyone has enough jawbone density to support a dental implant, so what are your options if that’s the case? Keep reading to learn more about bone grafting and how this procedure can provide the foundation you need for a dental implant.
The Bone Grafting Procedure: Step-by-Step
Whether you need dental fillings or cosmetic dental procedures, such as porcelain veneers, our dental team can create a treatment plan to help you meet your smile goals.
For the bone grafting procedure, we use leading-edge technology to plan your treatment. We will conduct a thorough dental examination, take digital x-rays, and take 3-D images before discussing the procedure with you.
This procedure aims to increase jawbone density, making it possible to place a dental implant.
Here’s what you can expect from the procedure:
- First, we will ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia. Your mouth will be completely numb during the procedure so that you won’t feel anything.
- Using synthetic bone or bone from another part of your body, we will place it into the area of your jawbone where the implant will be placed. Over time, it will solidify and become part of your jaw, providing a sturdy foundation for your dental implant.
- Once the area heals, we can place your dental implant and restore your smile.
